The Last Train

C

                             Am
It was the last train of the evening
    Dm              G
The sun was setting low
      E7                Am
As we pulled out of the station
          F             G
I glanced up to see its glow
       C          Am
In the window a reflection
     Dm             G
Of a face I used to know
      E7             Am
In an old life, in a young life
        F              G
We both lived so long ago

          C                    Bb
She could dance from dusk till dawning
          F
She could twist and shout with joy
    D7                      Dm             G
And I was hers forever, her first and only boy
            C                 Am
But in that old life, in that young life
      Dm               G
I was far too smart to know
         Dm             G            F
That the one regret I'd harbour yet
           G       C
Was that I let her go

                     Am
She was reading as I watched her
         Dm                G
Till she turned another page
         E7             Am
From the lines upon her face now
          F              G
You could never tell her age
      C                Am
But I knew I looked so different
          Dm               G
Time just hadn't been that kind
      E7                   Am
On my face were etched the failures
       F               G
Of the life I'd left behind

      C                     F
As we slowed she closed her novel
Stood to take her suitcase down
D
Turned and paused and stared at me
    G
Then shadowed by a frown
C               Am
Shook her head, took her case
Dm                G
Moved towards the door
 Dm            G
Another time, another place
    F       G       C
But leaving me once more

          C                    Bb
She could dance from dusk till dawning
          F                             G
She could twist and shout with joy, and that
         Dm             G            F
That the one regret I'd harbour yet
           G       C
Was that I let her go
